I'll be working off someone else's UFOs this month. I had an old neighbor contact me and ask if I would finish 3 memory t-shirt quilts for her. Her adult son died of brain cancer close to 2 years ago after years of fighting. His nieces and nephew wanted to have memory quilts from their uncle's most favorite t-shirts. My neighbor stabilized and cut out the fronts of several t-shirts and then got stuck. She asked if I could finish them for her. I couldn't say no but I had a feeling it wasn't going to be easy and I was right. They chose some strange fabrics for the back. The easiest backing is polar fleece. One is almost like a shag carpert but much softer and the third one is very soft but maybe a minky or something similar. When I start on them I'll post pics.

I'm like a broken record. It's still #3 the Posy quilt. May finish photo is June's starting point. Out of this springs a lot more piecing as I like to use up all the leftover bits and pieces of fabrics rather than add them to a scrap pile. What comes out of that will decide how soon I start working on the backs. I'm getting the feeling this could be a project for the rest of the year rather than month by month.

My #12 is Tis The Season panel quilt. I am going to be gone on a tripp for the second half of June, so don't know how much I'll get done. But I will at least start it. Will post a pic maybe later today. Never got a thing done on my May UFO :(

I'm not following the called numbers very well. I'm going to continue with my #11 Turtle Quilts (yes, now two - not just one). Tops are done. Just need to sandwich, pin, quilt, and bind. However, due to my youngest getting married next weekend, I probably won't be able to touch any sewing till later in the month.

My number 12 is Downton Abby, but I have to finish the bargello (that has been hanging for months) in the next couple of weeks. After which I hope to go to the Storm at Sea I started a couple of years ago. My grandchildren are getting married faster than I can keep up.

Hmm. I am going to continue working on the t-shirt quilt. After I finish that, I will be working on a new project with a deadline (baby quilt for my first grandchild!), so, I don't think my number 12 will even get pulled out.

I am finishing up the binding on Wolf Abstractions by Violet Craft for my daughter's Master's graduation gift in a couple of weeks. Also quilting another Quatrefoil for a friend's 60th birthday, also in a couple of weeks.

Last week I pulled my travel trailer up to work so now I have electricity and water! I took my sewing machine and will be working on Storm at Sea and Fire Island Hosta--just piecing.
